Unidentified Man
Strips In Front of Two
Wanberg Residents
McDonald Named
ASWC President
by Don Campbell
QC Staff Writer
Last week, an unidentified
man entered Wanberg Hall and
after a verbal exchange with
two students ran into their room
and took off most ofhis clothes.
Melissa Reilly, one of the
students involved in the
incident, described the stranger
as 35 years old, Hispanic male
with brown hair and brown eyes.
She said he was heavy-set, clean
shaven, had short hair and was
very well dressed, wearing a
black dress shirt with a bright
multi-colored tie and olive green
pants.
Reilly and sophomore Mary
Gossman were relaxing in
Reilly's room with the door open.
An unidentified man peered his
head in and asked if they knew
"Kim,"Reilly said.
Reilly assumed he was
referring to junior Kim Stumpf,
who is a Thalian and a fellow
resident in Wanberg. Gossman
told him that Stumpf was at her
home off campus.
The man told Reilly and
Gossman that he was an exotic
dancer who was supposed to
audition for Stumpf, according
to Reilly.
Reilly said they assumed
the man was supposed to dance
at the Thalian Rush so they said
they could go and find another
Thalian which could help him.
He quickly refused by saying
that this was supposed to be
"hush.hush," according to Reilly.
Gossman then offered to call
Stumpf. The man replied that
his company would contact her
tomorrow.
He turned to Reilly and
Gossman and said he would give
the two an example of what he
does in his company. He shut
the door and asked if they had
any music. Gossman and Reilly
said they did not.
At this point, Reilly said
they were surprised and
uncertain as to what to do, said
they were out ofthe reach ofthe
stranger because they were on
top of Reilly's bunkbed.
The stranger began shaking
his hips and dancing for the two
girls. Much to the surprise of
Reilly and Gossman, he
proceeded to drop his pants,
while keeping on his shirt.

Junior Andy McDonald was
elected as the new ASWC
President in yesterday's run-off
election against sophomore
Nicole Winger in what was
termed a "close race" by election
committee member Jen Kelly.
McDonald, who will
officially take office in January,
said his first plan of attack is to
find out as much information as
possible about a new policy
prohibiting organizations to
charge entrance to events where
alcohol is served. He said he
would "try to remedy the
situation with the help of the
new Board (of Governors) and
student input.
Current ASWC President
Kevin McGlynn said that he and
current President Pro Temp
Kelly may be present at the first
few BOG meetings that
McDonald chairs. "We will start
the transition right away," he
said.
McDonald said he wasn't
nervous about the results
because it was basically up to
the students. "But I was

definitely pleased," he said,
"because I worked hard on my
campaign. I'd work until one or
two (in the morning) and then
I'd wake up thinking about it."
He added, "I guess it still
hasn't sunk in because I have so
many papers to do."
McGlynn said, "The
administration is changing and
(McDonald) will make sure it is
in the best interest of the
students." He added, "I think
(McDonald) will stand strong
and give us more of what we
deserve (as students)."
Kelly said 454 people voted
in the run-off election and about
470 voted in the initial election,
just under 50 percent of the
student body. Kelly said she
could not comment on the
distribution of votes beyond that
it was a close race.
McDonald said, "I knew it
was going to be a close race and
(Winger) was a worthy
competitor."
General BOG elections will
be held tomorrow in front ofthe
mailroom. McDonald will then
be responsible for working with
the BOG-elects to appoint them
to the BOG positions. The
program board chair will not be
open because, due to its nature,
itis held for the academicyear.
Senior Robin Lynn Hickin
currently holds that position,
which McGlynn said will be
reappointed at the end of May.
There are other positions
on BOG that are appointed in
addition to the eight elects.
These positions arebusiness
manager, treasurer and
secretary, according to Kelly.
McDonald said, "The
process doesn't end with the
selection of the president.
Please remember to vote for
your BOG."
The Dilemma of Accessibility
by Alec Mackie
QC Graphics Editor
and Alexis Miller
QC Staff Writer
Whittier College is running
the risk of incurring the same
kind of legal action that is
plaguing the law campus. The
lawsuit of Michael D'Amore v.
the Whittier School of Law, filed
Oct. 26 of this year, which alleges
that the school is not accessible
to the disabled, underlines this
campus' inaccessibility to
disabled students.
According to .many
administrators, the problem is
one that the college is currently
examining closely, but cannot
take action until a student with
a disability is enrolled.
However, it is not merely
disabled students which the
college is required to assist.
According to Bill Mullowney,
College Counsel, the Americans
with Disabilities Act of 1990
(ADA) requires employers to
make provisions for disabled
employees as well.
In order to accommodate
both groups, there are two
problems that the college is
facing, according to interim Vice
President of Academic Affairs
and Dean of Faculty Wendy
Furman. The first problem is
that the campus has a certain
geographic setting which makes
it very difficult to get around in
a wheel chair or on crutches.
The second problem,
according to Furman, is money.

Since the college does not have
a large financial backing it is
difficult to immediately come
into compliance with the law
when the school has other
financial priorities.
The college therefore faces
the dilemma that it must
comply with the law but does
not have the financial
resources to make the entire
campus accessible all at once.
Therefore, according to
Mullowney, the school will
comply on a case by case basis.

Faculty, Students Relay
Experience with Honor
Codes at Forum
by Michelle Velasquez
QC Staff Writer
A panel of Whittier
College students and faculty
members voiced favorable
experiences they have had
with honor codes at other
institutions last Wednesday
in Hoover Lautrup.
This forum was one part
in a series of discussions that
have been taking place on
campus regarding whether or
not the College should adopt
an academic honor code.
The panel consisted of
junior Chris Martin, junior
Ian McMullin, senior Lynn
Zuckerman, economics
professor Kim Thomas and
her husband Paid Thomas.
Zuckerman attended a
prep school named Miss
Hall's, which had an honor
code system in which the
students wrote and signed
after every test or paper, "I
have not.given nor received
aid on this exam."
"It created an
environment in which no one
would be comfortable
cheating. It was a nice
respect between you and the
teacher that you could make
the right decision. It is
